Vitamin D Supplements
We answered the following listener question from Amanda:

“Hey ladies!
I am interested in learning more about Vitamin D. Who could benefit from taking vitamin D and what are some symptoms that you are vitamin D deficient? Also, I would like to start taking a supplement could you recommend your favorite ones and dosages? Is there a best time of day to take it? What are the best sources of vitamin D in food form? So many questions! Sorry if you already talked about the D in one of your past episodes but I don’t think I saw one. You ladies rock!”

Magnesium Oil
We talk about why magnesium is such a biggie in terms of nutrients and why the things we do in our every day lives often deplete this crucial nutrient. We discuss the different supplement options, why transdermal absorption is a good option for people, and the different aspects of making/buying a magnesium oil.
